In NJC, boarding is a requirement.


i am also considering putting my son to NJC. But when i read abt Boarding as a requirement, i change my mind. My son is too pampered to be taking care of himself at the age of 13.

Actually boarding is a very good exposure to independence and it was an excellent experience for me since boarding has just ended. Boarding is only for a term a year and for Sec 1, it is in the last term. Me & my friends has totally enjoyed our time in boarding and it was a good preparation for independent learning and teamwork before we actually had our adventure camp at the end of the term.

But of course it does depend on your son's willingness I am just sharing my opinion of boarding for parents or students who are interested to know how is it like. And I am looking forward to another term of boarding next year

First you should eliminate the score of which subject yr kid had received tutions or enrichment classes inorder to arrive at the right conclusion. Assuming he/she did not receive any of the above, then base yr decision on his/her inclinations or aptitude. Is your kid reading more scientific bks, love maths or prefers languages, poems etc. Surely you can detect an area that gives yr kid the most important comparative advantage over other kids.

Next you can base your decision on ccas. Which instituition has the most suitable cca. Thirdly, distance is another area you can consider. The last pt is T-score. While there is no difference in their academic standards, a T-score of 270 and above or 262-269 should render a pupil applying to RI/RGS and HCI/NGHS respectively if all other factors are almost equal.

Re innovate 's analysis on HCI vs ri.

My son scored a* for both maths and science but only managed an a for his languages. However his t score of 255 + 2 may make it for HCI but not ri. Also all this while his languages r not as strong as maths and science. I would like him to go to ip school and he has a gd chance to get into HCI but should he try for ri though chances r slim?

INNOVATE:

RI/RGS-RI HCI/NYGH-HCI Which one to choose as top choice?


Firstly, i would like to congratulate parents/pupils for their stellar performances.

Today, i would like to share my view from the strategic point. Approximately 65%-70% of our top scholar come from RI and HCI, as such, their options hve an impact on the outcome of their future applications. Even though one may argue that some kids may not opt to serve the bonds, it is still critical to them in their applications to top US unis, oxbridge or top coveted courses in medicine and law.

Selection base on input from open houses, culture, popularity, or top pupils proceeding to RI/RGS, i think is not the most critical. The selection criteria should be based on which instituition is most suitable for you in line with your objectives. In short, which instituition can bring the best out of you to achieve your fullest potential.

For pupils who excel in the areas of maths/science should attempt to go to RI/RGS. This is an area i feel they hve proven to be consistently outstanding. For pupils who excel in humanities or wish to study in Peking or Tsinghua unis, than the obvious choice is HCI/NGHS. Is advisable not to transfer from one instituition to another during yr5 as the students need to hve very good cca records in support of their applications to top unis or courses. Imagine if one transfers from RI to HCI or vice versa, he/she would hve lost their peers support in being elected to posts of President/Vice-President or exco members of student councils or other top posts in their respective ccas. Leadership positions in ccas are mandatory requirement in all the above applications. Ivy league unis consider winning international competitions as the most impt criteria in addition to excellent academic records.

As for top local courses such as medicine and law, good ccas record is no longer just an advangtage it is mandatory inorder to be invited for an interview.

May I add that while CCAs, CIPs and competitions (especially international ones like the Internaltional Olympaids) are important, it is important that we recognise that at most universities your academic results is still the FIRST cut. If you do not get enough university admission points based on your results, you will not be even called up for the interview where you can \"show off\" your achievements in CCAa, CIPs and competitions.

For example, if you do not obtained anything near to the perfect admission scores (90 points) for NUS medicine, you will not even be called up for the interview!
